What will Olivia decide? What will happen next?
Olivia suddenly looked up from her drink surprised. Could they really do that? Could they really just drop work and their lives to go on a random vacation? She wanted to. Badly, but she knew Elliot had a responsibility to his kids and what would Cragen say.
She expressed this to Elliot. "Liv, there's nothing to worry about. It's not like we're going to be gone forever. I mean it will just be a week or so."
Olivia was silently tracing the rim of her glass with her forefinger, considering and weighing up the pros and cons.
~pros: I get to spend so time with Elliot without having work or anything else to interupt, I need a break from the rest of the world and I dont have any responsibilities.
The only cons are Elliot's kids and the fact that they are due in work Monday morning~ she thought.
She noticed it had been a few minutes since either had spoken and Elliot was waiting on an answer. "Let's do it!"
"Really?" Elliot asked unsure if she meant it because he did.
"Yea El, I mean why not. We deserve this." She explained but trailed off in thought at the end. Elliot looked at her with a worried look on his face. "What's wrong Liv?" He asked.
"Oh nothing. I was just thinking where we going to go?" They both went silent as they thought about it. It was an important factor. "Tell me liv, what's the one place you've always wanted to visit?" She thought about it for a moment. There were a few places the popped into her mind but only one of those places she wanted to go to with Elliot. The city of love. She looked up into his brown eyes. "Paris!" She looked at Elliot. She was expecting to see a look of disgust because he had told her he hated long flights but instead she was greeted with a huge smile from ear to ear. "Let's do it." He said. "Ok so first things first, let's divide up the tasks. I will book the plane tickets and book us a hotel." "And I will call Cragen and tell him we want time off." Olivia said. "Then we can leave here and split up to pack." She continued. "We can meet back up at my place to go to the airport." She gulped down the last of her drink and went outside to call Cragen. She was slightly worried about what to say if he asked why they were taking time off together. She didn't want anyone to think something was going on between them even if she wanted it to be so badly. So she rang the number and waited. After a few rings, he picked up. "This is Cragen."
"Hi cap, its Liv."
"Oh hey liv, what can I do for you?"
"Elliot and I need some time off." She said it really quickly to try to get him to not ask questions.
"What's wrong with the two of you?"
"Nothing Cap but that case was hard going and we would really appreciate a week or so to ourselves."
"Ok, liv I understand. I want you both back to work a week on Monday ok and tell Elliot I said hi."
"Will do, thanks cap."
Olivia walked back into the bar and couldn't help but swoon over Elliot. In her eyes he was perfect. (Except the fact he was sometimes a jerk) but her favorite think about him was his passion and commitment for everything he did. "Liv the flight is booked for six am. Its 10pm now so we should really go pack." He stopped for a minute before he continued. "Everything go ok with Cragen?"
"Yep he says he understands although I told him it was because we needed time to ourselves after the case." Elliot just nodded and the two of them share a cab home. Olivia decided to have a quick shower when she got home. Then she slipped into a pair of leggings and a tank top and started to pack. She started to over think what she was putting in her suitcase. She didn't want anything to revealing but then she stopped herself. "Why are you worried about this so much? I mean we want him to like us don't we? He's not with Kathy anymore so it could happen and maybe something a little revealing will convince him to make a move on me if he really likes me." Elliot on the other hand was just shoving his entire summer wardrobe in his suitcase. He had a quick shower not even bothering to wash his hair. He did use the shower gel that he knows Olivia loves the scent of though. He then brushed his teeth and put toiletries in his case and proceeded to get dress. After that he jumped in a cab back to Olivia's. She came down with her suitcase when Elliot texted her. He stared at her in amazement. She had managed to do some much in 2 hours and was now getting into the taxi looking more beautiful than ever before.
